- For beautifully art directed visual choreography and emotional story, excellence in animation reminding us the greatest masters of animation.
- The director of the film succeeded in telling a simple, yet very powerful story in a manner that created a warm, delicate, sweet and sour world.
- "Ida" is a strong and complex drama of young girl brought up at a convent who undertakes a strange journey to find her true identity in hard times of postwar communist Poland. This subtle and elliptic film, shot in an ambitious black and white cinematographic style, raises questions of family bounds, forgiveness and mature faith.
- For cynical, sad, dark, horrible but yet again hillarious reminder of what humanity has become. An original masterpiece of visual storytelling.
